The built-in esp8266 module of Cactus Micro need to upgrade firmware for support HTTP post request. There’s a little buggy for send NEWLINE to remote server. Upgrade the firmware for esp8266 Download firmware ai-thinker-0.9.5.2-9600.bin. Change the serial port to hardware serial. Use USB to UART converter to upgrade firmware. You can also refer this link…
An easy used USB to UART converter for TinyESP. You just need plug-in TinyESP to the converter, then start to upload firmware. All pinouts is extracted. It’s very good for program NodeMCU / Arduino. Buy it from tindie
We have tested to make Cactus Micro as ESP8266 programmer. It works very well. To do the work, you need make some jump wires. Steps for hacking For upload firmware to ESP8266, we need more stable connection for UART. So change the serial port to hardware serial port first. Add a jump wire ESP8266 GPIO0…
Cactus Micro communication with ESP8266 with SoftwareSerial port (RX: 11, TX: 12) default. We can change it to the hardware serial port Serial1. Prepare tools A knife A Solder Soldering the jumper Step1. Cut the jumper in the red square Step2. Soldering the jumper to other side You’re done. Now the Cactus Micro communicate with…
We have some little new products this week! USB To UART converter Supports ESP8266 A CP2102 3.3V USBToUART converter support 400mA+ current. Good for upload firmware for esp8266. Tiny Double Side Thru-Hole Prototype PCB Board The Prototype PCB Board for Pro Micro / Arduino Pro Mini / Cactus Micro allows easy prototyping using through-hole components.…
TinyESP is a tiny size breadboard adapter for ESP-12/ESP-07 ESP8266 WiFi module. It contains a 3.3V voltage LDO, a Reset button and a flash jumper. Please refer the link for more information. Why did you make it? ESP8266 is an inexpensive serial-to-wifi tranceiver chip that can be used to connect any microcontroller with a serial…
This is a simple demo using the ESP8266 and Cactus Micro (a arduino compatible board) to update a remote server (data.sparkfun.com) using a digital temperature sensor. Step 1: Materials The Cactus Micro is an arduino compatible dev board, it integrated a WIFI chip ESP8266. More information
Cactus Micro is our integrated developement board, we have mixed Arduino with WIFI chip ESP8266 into a single board. It is targeted for makers to develop low power Internet-Of-Things (IoT) projects quickly and easily. It have very little size and very easy to use. Cactus Micro是我们提供的集成开发板,我们将Arduino和WIFI合并在一块小小的电路板上。用于物联网开发是便捷而又简单的事情。主芯片是Atmega32u4, WIFI模块使用了ESP8266。 How to buy it Buy Cactus Micro from…
System requirements: iOS7 and over App has four main function menus: Beacons, Bluetooth, Tools, Setting. 1、Beacons In this menu, we can search iBeacons nearby. All beacons are sorted by UUID, Major, Minor value. You can check the distance and rssi value of the beacon by tapping one of beacons。
